BAKE OFF FINAL, STAND UP TO CANCER, SAM SMITH | LITTLE LOVES 42/52

Its F R I Y A Y which only means one thing and thats a LittleLove round up with Coffee Work Sleep Repeat.

This week has been a full on week. I had my surgery on Tuesday and although I was in and out within a day, there were a few complications which resulted in me actually being in theatre for over an hour. It really took it out of me, laying on a theatre table awake, listening to everything that is going on, is quite frankly not a nice experience. I have been recuperating at home with the help of Mr B. He is back to work today, which is a little petrifying for me as I am still in so much pain and I am really struggling to keep it under control. But even though its been a rather rubbish week in that sense, I have been loving lots…

Without too much waffling here is this weeks #LittleLove

I am cheating here as technically both these videos come under “watched” but I also did read the news that Lucy {Dear Beautiful} and Jenny {Lets Talk Mommy} are both expecting! Its such lovely news to brighten up a very dull week. I managed to catch Jenny’s this morning so have decided to share both here. Congratulations ladies!

On Monday G, H and I watched my mum and her husband sail off on a cruise ship! We have a cruise ship terminal near us, so I dropped them off and then went back with G and H after school to wave them off when they sailed! Was so lovely and both children were really excited to see them off. H now wants to go on a ship, purely because they have a swimming pool on board!

Because I have been sofa bound this week I have managed to catch up on all my TV! I am yet to watch this weeks The Walking Dead though as I am so tired of an evening I end up falling asleep and I feel that needs my full attention.

Who watched the Bake Off final? Now I am so annoyed {like everyone} that Prue “let slip” the winner so early! She is such a fool and I really think that C4 need to consider replacing her! I know thats very strong, but I find it so frustrating that it can be done so easily. Its not just the Bake Off its happened too, stars of Strictly have also messed up this year and its so disspapointing! I have to be honest, out of the new line up of judges and presenters I am least keen on Prue anyway, so I wouldn’t miss her if she went! I was pleased with the winner, they totally deserved to win! {no spoilers here!}

C4 have been pushing the Stand Up To Cancer programmes this year and I watched Fighting Cancer: My Online Diary. It was a really hard watch and obviously the outcome was really very sad. The young girl who was battling a brain tumour was heartbreaking. So very sad, I hate that this disease causes so much pain. I also have another programme to watch, A Summer To Save My Life, has anyone watched it?

Sam Smith. I am bloody loving him at the moment and although I was in two minds as to whether I actually liked Too Good At Goodbyes, Its certainly grown on me. I watched his BBC One interview on The One Show last night and he is such a down to earth character! Definitely going to be listening to his album a lot more!

I have been wearing the most disgusting wound on my neck! It really is pretty awful. I am so so self conscious of it as I am unable to cover it up. Its pretty gruesome, I am so glad I have not had to go anywhere this week as I am so worried what people actually think when they see it!

I’ve also been in pyjamas. I have been in them all week and its been rather lovely.Today I have actually had to get dressed which feels a bit strange! I have made the most of the sofa days and have been wrapped up rather snuggly with my rather gorgeous ripple blanket.

Nothing this week. Although next week I will no doubt have a birthday cake to share with you! G is 9 on Monday so I will be making a cake over the weekend. She has put in a request of butter cream and sprinkles! I am sure I will be adding pictures to my Instagram!

We have a busy weekend. On one hand I am really looking forward to it. Its been planned for ages. I am so worried its going to knock me for six and I am going to totally over do it. G has a joint get-together on Sunday with her cousin whose birthday is tomorrow. G’s is on Monday so we decided that we would have everyone over for chilli, hotdogs and cake. We are also having a few fireworks thrown in for good measures! G is super excited and can’t wait! I have so much I need to get done!

I’m sorry the surgery had some complications. I hope you feel a lot better soon. I haven’t watched this years bake off but Prue sounds bad for giving the winner away. I hope you have a lovely weekend celebrating G’s birthday.Claire recently posted…The Lakes, owls and Peppa #littleloves

Oh my goodness squeal you shared my announcement you are so sweet. I am so excited to share this baby journey with everyone never had a blog baby before. Hope everyone doesn’t hate me for baby pregnancy spam moving forward. Hahaha Lucy and I are only two weeks apart too. So fun. Thanks for sharing babes. Have a fab bonfire night and weekend #littleloves

How did I live across the river from that cruise terminal for pretty much the first 25+ years of my life and not realise it was even there! You always share videos that bring a tear to my eye, Jenny’s pregnancy announcement was just so cute. I’m not sure if I’m broody or just plain hormonal! So sorry your op didn’t go as it should. Hope the weekend doesn’t take it out of you too much and stop worrying about what you look like. The people who matter don’t care what’s on your neck woman!
